Arrest warrants state that Smith broke into a house at 2404 Evers Drive and held a woman and four men at gunpoint.

Smith was placed in the Wake County jail under a $2 million secured bond. He was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
Smith was on probation for a December conviction for conspiracy to commit armed robbery, according to state Department of Correction records. He also has 2008 convictions for two counts each of assault with a deadly weapon and communicating threats and one count each of going armed to the terror of the public and possessing stolen goods.
